Here are a few current ones I'm caring for! 1964 Black Fender Jazz, 1973 Teak topped Alembic, 2008 Stanley Clarke Alembic Sig Dlx originally built for and owned by Tom Blankenship of My Morning Jacket, and a 1980, ultra rare Veillette Citron 8 String - Kasim Sultan used one of these on Fame with David Bowie. My band and basses can be seen on YouTube by searching for B Side Bandits. I'm a singing bassist with a love of Steely Dan, Sting, Elton John, Tom Petty, The Doobie Brothers and many more. So glad this forum is here - love the site!

My collection L to R.
2014 Squier Affinity Jazz Custom. Full Shielding, Duncan Designed Pickups, tort pickguard, Squier Classic Vibe 60s high mass bridge. Strung with Fender factory strings.
2002 Ibanez SR480. Dead stock, including the original strings.
2015 SX Ursa 1 P type bass. New this week, only mods at this point are changed strings to D'Addario EXL170s.
1993 Ibanez SR500, maple body in clear gloss, custom with EMG Active pickups, and strung with D'Addario EXL170s..

That puts me with all 4 stringers, a Jazz, 2 PJs, and a P only. I am giving serious consideration to selling the SR500 and picking up a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass V Special in trans red... No issues with the Ibby, just want a 5 stringer, and don't really need 2 4 string active PJs.
 
That fretless has the most gorgeous, unusual woodgrain. I checked out your music site...very impressive work sir. I was really diggin' it. Do you guys tour as well?

Hey thank you! :)
Difficult to tour as the drummer is always busy with his other band. I might get something together for next year though. I'd love to take this on the road at some point.
